Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0371601A2] A surfactant is produced by extracting oats using ethanol or isopropanol to produce an alcohol extract, extracting the alcohol extract with methanol to produce a methanol extract and evaporating methanol from the methanol extract to produce the surfactant. In a modification, the methanol extract is extracted with acetone and the acetone-insoluble material is recovered to provide the surfactant. The surfactant is useful as an emulsifying agent and/or stabilizer in water-in-oil emulsions and oil-in-water emulsions, in bread making, in the manufacture of the margarine or in the formation and stabilization of aqueous foams. An anti-spattering agent for margarine is obtainable by extracting oats using isopropanol to produce an alcohol extract and then separating an oil from such alcohol extract.
